Although it has been found that water remains in the receptacle during several hours continuous running of the motor, and that carhuration is greatly improved and fuel conserved by the use of water, it is evident that the use of .the latter is arbitrary after the motor becomes warm.

Should it not be desired totfome the hot air into the receptacle, the valve, 19, may be 0 ened to permit the air to pass directly t rough the drum in lieu of entering theconductor, 15.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is,-

1. The combination with a'carbureter including a float chamber and an air intake, of an air and water receptacle inclosing] the float-chamber and communicating with the air-intake. V

2. The combination with a gas-engine including an exhaust conductor, a c00ling-fari and a carburetor having an airdnlet, a water and air receptacle communicating with the air-inlet, a drum heated by the exhaustconductor and adapted to receive air from the cooling-fan, and an airconductor between the drum and receptacle.

3. The combination with a gas-engine including an exhaust-conductor, a cooling-fan and a carburetor having an air-inlet, of an air and water receptacle communicating with the air-inlet, a drum mounted upon the exhaust-conductor and adapted to receive ail" from the cooiin -fan and convey the same to the receptac e, and means for controlling the passage of air to the receptacle.

4. The combination with a gas-engine in cluding an exhaust-conductor, a cooling-fan and a carburetor having a float-chamber and an air-inlet, of an air and water receptacle inclosing the float-chamber. and communic'ating with the air-inlet, and a drum mounted upon the exhaust-conductor and adapted to receive air from the cooling-fan and convey the same to the receptacle.

5. The combination with a gas-engine including an exhaust-conductor, a coolingfian and a carbureter having a floatfchamber and an air-inlet, of an open-ended air-drum mounted upon the exhaust-conductor and having one and directed toward the coolingfan, a valve adapted to close the opposite end of the drum, an air and water receptacle inclosing the float-chamber and com municating with the air-inlet, and an air adapted to close the rear end of the airdrum, and an air-conductor between the airinlet and the rear portion of the air-drum.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
